Chiff chaff with the family in the woods

A lovely walk with the family during lockdown in Ashridge woods - lovely to get some air outside the house  / garden and the sounds of chiff chaff singing in the trees

Buzzards over the house , being hassled by a crow 

Goldfinch on the feeder

It has been a common sight , but recently not so much , so a solitary GOLDFINCH was a nice thing to see

I took a shot of the garden while I was at it - don’t usually get the patio in ! Looking forward to more colour over the coming months...

Fabulous Granville birds in April

In these odd times its nice to be able to look out of the bedroom windows and see some amazing bird sights - PHEASANT (not seen one of those in a garden for a while.. lurking by Luke's goal!

 Also the bird box at the end of the garden is getting interest from a couple of families - a GREAT TIT and also a BLUE TIT - literally popped in for a viewing straight after each other!
Some power issues on the bird box with the camera in it but no sign of the blue tits for a while...

Plenty of DUNNOCKS in the garden picking up bird seed fallen to the ground, this one nice and close on the fence and the bedroom window open!
